I tested this a bit more. My windows example was incorrect. It should have used CTRL_C_EVENT. But even then, the problem is that the process will also close the console window from which it was called because of the 0. Also this requires that the process actually have a console and is not a GUI application.
Is there some other method rather than a blocking "for line in fin:" that i can use for reading from a file like device that plays nicely with other threads asynchronously waking it up? Sorry for all the posts. I am giving updates as i look further into the problem. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
